Local governance under austerity: hybrid organisations and hybrid officers
以英国卡迪夫为例，研究紧缩政治如何加剧地方治理形式的混合化，分析混合型官员在紧缩中的经历及其对高层治理的影响。
Using the case of Cardiff, Wales, we argue that the hybridisation of local governance forms is exacerbated by the downscaling and offloading of austerity politics. Conceptualising hybridity as a process which operates across governmental scales, at the organisational and at the individual level helps understand the growing complexities of local governance under austerity and the tensions which arise in seeking to assemble locally appropriate ideas and practices. Conceptualising hybridity as practice, we consider how ‘hybrid officers’ at the frontline experience austerity, their situated agency, and the implications for higher levels of governance.
